How to Solve Car Sort Level 197 — Full Solution
- Shorten the roof towers so the top dock can unload without mixed traffic dropping back into it.
- Keep the middle and lower docks temporary while the upper bridge is still releasing.
- Leave the lower rows flexible until the first two docks have fully handed down the route.
- Once the upper half is quiet, pass the remaining traffic from the middle dock to the lowest dock and then into the receiver rows.
- Finish the lower rows only after no lavender dock still needs to send traffic back upward.

Quick Tips for Car Sort Level 197 (spoiler-free)
- Treat the lavender docks as relay stages.
- Keep lower rows soft until the top two docks are quiet.
- Let the route descend one dock at a time.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Three lavender bridge docks stack down the center under roof towers, with descending mixed rows packed beside them and receivers along the bottom.
- Goal
- Clear the top dock first, settle the middle dock second, and finish the lower rows only after the whole stack belongs to the lower half.
- Opening
- Trim the roof towers, open the upper dock, and keep the middle and lower rows flexible while the upper bridge still owns the vertical road.
- Danger Zone
- If a lower dock or receiver closes before the upper two docks have fully finished the handoff, the next bridge release has no safe descent lane.
- Mechanics
- The docks are transfer platforms rather than finish lanes, so ownership has to move downward in stages.
Frequently Asked Questions
What controls Car Sort Level 197?
The top lavender dock controls the early game, but the stack only stabilizes once each dock has handed the route down to the next stage.
Why do the lower rows reopen in Level 197?
Because one of the bridge docks still uses the same vertical road when the lower half closes too early.
